Blown Mortgage: Prophets are usually ignored until it’s too late

    "Citi was effectively bankrupt...Citi was allowed to ride it out and try to recapitalize in a few years, and thereby avoid bankruptcy protection."

    This is precisely what what was denied from the depositors of Indymac when Schumer put the coup de grace bullet to Indymac's head.

    I’ve been in finance since 1986 and have seen more than my share of crises. The ’86 stock market crash, the junk bond debacle, the Latin American debt crisis, the rise and fall of Long Term Capital, the tech bubble, 911…to name just a few. In every case, in every crisis and every panic I’ve seen, the most optimistic predictions were way to optimistic and the most pessimistic predictions were way too pessimistic.

    That is true to some extent CML..however..I don't think that this country...other than the great depression..has suffered such a blow to its economic fiber..and each of thos instances you have described there has always been a "V" answer..meaning something has always pulled us out of the crisis.. ex..moved from the dot.com bust to the housing boom, from the great depression to the new deal....today..there is not "V' but instead a "\" with nothing on the other side to pull us up...
